I'm not about to pretend I know exactly your situation. But I do know that overprotecing my ears caused me alot of anxiety and made things exponentially worse. Find a distraction if possible.
I am not oveprotecting. Flipping a switch and flushing the toilet actually hurt my ears. T consists of 7-8 sounds, loud, reactive. I think I am spending my last money on hookers and other stuff and then I am done.
2 months is way too soon to give up! You need to give your brain time to figure things out. I know it is a hell on earth. I'm in the thick of it right now too and every day is miserable, but it will improve with time.
